Large Blocks of Granite,

Although very little stone has beer

four months, work has not been at .

stonecutters have been going ahead stead.
lily, and there Is an immense amount oil
stone on hand ready to be used as soon
as the weather permits.
The wOrkmen were yesterday engaged
in unloading granite from the flats on
which it is sent from the quarries The
stone was in very large pieces, and re-
CURED considerable time and skill in
handling.
One of the blocks weighed fourteen
tons $4,000 pounds, and when dressed
will be thirteen and half feet long, three
feet and one and half inches wide, and
two feet eleven inches thick. These will
be used as sill and cap of one of the
three light windows in the tower. There
will be twenty-three others of the same
dimensions, only twelve feet long, to be
used for the same purpose. Nearly the
whole excavation is filled with cut stone.
and in few weeks even the most com
planning will have no fault to find with
the progress of the work.

A ColOred Editor Indicted,

The grand jury in the Hastings Cour
yesterday indicted John Mitchell Jr
(colored), editor Of the Richmond Planet
The indictment alleges that Mitchell
"did publish false, scandalous, malicious
and defsmatory libel in the form of a
newspaper article, concerning John B.
Crenshaw"
The article alluded to was copied from
the Charleston Vest Virginia Enterprise
Mr.. Crenshaw Is treasurer Of the board
Of directors Of the Moore-strset Indus
trial school This educational institution
is for the exclusive benefit Of colored
children.
The article charges that Mr. Crenshaw
circulated the report that the money to
aid in paying for the Moore-street Bap-
list church and school, which are com
bined in one, was contributed exclusively
by Quakers, when, in fact, 1t was given
by all denominations 1t further goes on
to say, that Mr.. Crcnshaw made these
statements to serve his own personal
ends, well knowing them to be false.
Mr.. Crenshaw is well. known gentle
man of this city, being one Of the lead
ing members of the Society Of Friends.
These are not the first scurilous remarks
that have been made by this paper con-
corning citizens OF this city, and 1t Is
hoped that a permanent stop will be put
to this kind of journalism.

The Queens Jubilee.

The loyal ex-subjects Of Her Majesty
Queen Victoria, are preparing to celc-
brate the fiftieth anniversary of her coro-
nation. This happy event occurs June
goth. Sir Walter Raleigh Lodge, Sons OF
ST. George, have appointed committee
to meet the Caledonian club, and Joint

be had. In this celebration it is expected
that not only Englishmen and Scots will
unite, but cordial invitation will be
extended TO all OF their American cousins.
Nowhere have the virtues Of the queen
mother been held in more reverence than
in Columbia, the gem Of the ocean, and
particularly in this Old Dominion, which
amid every vicissitude, was true to Bon
ME Prince Charlie.

A Stony Obstacle.

Mention was made in the TIMES severa
days ago of the construction of new cul
verts on Main street between Fifteenth
street and the creek Everything pro-
crossed very well until Friday, when the
workmen engaged in the excavation
struck bed Of granite on the south side
of the street near the creek. Through
this they have been compelled to drill,
and it has, of course, impeded the work
very much.
1t cannot be ascertained whether this
granite is natural strata, the remains of
some old foundation, modern or antedi-
luvian or whether it is simply blind
drain. The oldest inhabitant will please
rise and explain.

Restored to His Family.

Mr.. Lewis NJ. Martin, whose disap-
pearance was noted in yesterdays TIMES,
was restored TO his family Friday night.
He was found by Mr. Robert Hooker on
Midlothian turnpike in Swansboro.
Young Martin had been wandering about
the country ever since Wednesday night.
He was easily persuaded to go home The
Joy Of the afflicted mother, sisters, and
other relatives and friends may be well
imagined. He seems to have suffered no
Inconvenience from his tramp. All will
rejoice in his safe restoration, and the
family and friends return sincere thanks
to all who in any way aided in the search

The peculiar fitness Of -four manufac'
turcd In this city to stand the Brazilian
climate Is almost proverbial. For years
several of our manufacturers have done
an immense business in shipping -four to
Brazil
The expectation of -four from this city
is now carried on mainly by two firms
viz: The Haxall-Crenshaw Company
and Dunlop & McCa1ce.
These two mills will ship two cargoes
OF -four to Brazil tomorrow. One will
be by the Swedish bark Befrost and the
other by the German bark Blitz This
trade is now suddenly threatened from
an unexpected quarter. For some time
past capitalists in the city of London
have been perfecting arrangements for
the establishment of immense Touring
mills in Brazil. The Government Of that
country has offered great inducements,
and already nearly the desired amount,
$4,000, 900, has been subscribed Unless
the English Government throws some
unexpected obstacle In the way of the
project, the enterprise will be put under
way very shortly.
The Brazilian Government at present
admits wheat free and places a tariff of
70 cents per barrel upon flour.
The Argentine Republic is amply able
to supply the needed grain for the manu-
featuring of flour, and whatever is lacked
can be easily supplied by the immense
wheat fields Of the Western portion Of
he United States.
RichmOnd's flour trade ha. been of
ong standing, and it Is matter of much
regret that it Is about to be lost and it
S hoped that something may yet arise to
vert the impending catastrophe which
hreatens it,

Confederate Currency.

A TINES reporter was yesterday shown
a bill for groceries rendered in Septem
Der, 1864. Among the items was one fol-
100 pounds bacon (hog round) at SAC
per pound one pound of tea, at 81 20; ten
pounds sugar, at 60 cents; and other ar
ticles in proportion. No barrel of flour
was mentioned, or the bill would have
run up into the thousands The price of
the articles were about in the ratio of 60
cents for one The price for the
bacon, however, was extraordinary, but
that was because it was so scarce. That
was at the rate of over 200 cents for one

REVIEW.

The wheat market has ruled rather quie
to-day. Opening was steady al S24 for Nav
and market sold up 10 S2S but dropped back
and close IS tame at 81. Local operators are
not inclined TO 90 short of the market "a,
long as It Is in its present condition. and as
outside business was small there was not
much trading except by scalpers.
The condition of the growing crop is excel
lent and exports are lighter Think next
weeks market dependent entirely upon the
action OF the clique who are running the
deal, but manipulation is out and will decline
sharply.
Corn easier. Large local sales depressed
the market. Close is tame at about inside.
Pork still nominal at 20 80 Lard and ribs
very weak both broke on sharply under
heavy sales by large local operators. Close
IS at bottom prices, after decline Of thirty
points
